Counseling Center Offers Free Therapy
for Trauma Linked to Bombings The violence may have taken place in Boston but many
people throughout our nation have been affected by
the explosions that blasted through a crowd near the
iconic Boston Marathonrsquos finish line Monday The (newly
named) Lighthouse Psychological Services (LPS) at First
United Methodist Church ndashChula Vista is reaching out to
area people overcome by the tragedy to provide them
with free therapy
Dr Melinda Stenberg Director of the Chula Vista site of
LPS has received training in disaster and trauma
counseling and is available to meet with South Bay
residents experiencing anxiety or other mental health
symptoms as a result of the tragedy in Boston
Dr Stenberg said people in need of aid could be
individuals who have been directly affected by the
tragedy as well as people who saw the tragedy unfold
on the news Stenberg said getting therapy now reduces
the chances of developing post traumatic stress disorder
or having to cope with acute stress long term
ldquoPeople who get help within the first three months can
alleviate the symptoms of acute stressrdquo said Amy Khan
co-coordinator of the Western Massachusetts Trauma
Recovery Network
Khan said some of the signs that someone may need to
see a therapist to overcome emotions rattled by the
Boston Marathon explosions include difficulty sleeping
excessive worry intrusive thoughts being quick to startle
and higher-than-normal levels of irritability and anger
If someone is having difficulty dealing with grief or stress
caused by the disaster and wants to do some ldquoself-
carerdquo Khan suggests ldquotrying to have a routine or living a
normal liferdquo That means eating well staying away from
stressful situations and exercising
ldquoAfter a trauma the body is so agitated a good vigorous
walk is very helpfulrdquo she said
The counseling center is offering up to three free sessions
of counseling These sessions will focus on dealing with
feelings that have welled up following the tragedy
To make an appointment with Dr Stenberg please call
(619) 318-8175 (Melinda Stenberg PsyD is a pre-licensed
therapist Her work is currently being supervised by a
licensed therapist)

New Pastoral Internndash Darin Arntson Darin was born and raised in San Diego
California As a pastorrsquos kid she spent much
of her young life at church learning to love
the extended family found in a community of
faith As a teen Darin eagerly invested her
time (outside of volleyball water polo and
show choir) in youth group Nurtured and
encouraged in leadership by counselors and
staff she continued to serve after graduation
as a paid youth worker throughout the San Diego District
UMC
Darin is now finishing her second year of seminary at Candler
in Atlanta Georgia and is a certified candidate for
ordination as an elder in the Cal-Pac Annual Conference

through creating intentional and sensitive spaces for
worship as well as developing relational outreach and
missions that foster the building of community both within
and beyond the walls of the church She is greatly looking
forward to offering her gifts and time to the already
flourishing ministries of FUMC CV this summer and to growing
in service through practical experience in these areas with
the guidance of strong pastoral and staff leadership She is
grateful for the opportunity to return home again this
summer and to share in the kingdom work and family of
faith in Chula Vista

New Pastoral Internndash Darin Arntson Darin was born and raised in San Diego
California As a pastorrsquos kid she spent much
of her young life at church learning to love
the extended family found in a community of
faith As a teen Darin eagerly invested her
time (outside of volleyball water polo and

staff she continued to serve after graduation
as a paid youth worker throughout the San Diego District

Darin is now finishing her second year of seminary at Candler

forward to offering her gifts and time to the already
flourishing ministries of FUMC CV this summer and to growing

the guidance of strong pastoral and staff leadership She is
